Join For FreeOur new tutorial shows how to create an animated 3D Cube slideshow (pictures are located within the walls of the cube). The cube itself rotates continuously.
Here is our demo and downloadable package:

Ok, download the source files and let's start coding !
Step 1. HTML
This is the markup of our slideshow page.

First, I defined all vertices and faces (walls) of our virtual cube. Then I defined the rules for rotating. And then – the most difficult thing – I coded the transformation of images using ‘clip’ and ‘transform’.
Conclusion
I hope that today’s 3D html5 cube lesson has been interesting for you. We have done another nice html5 example. I will be glad to see your thanks and comments. Good luck!
